Hi. I seem to be having with my Ford Mondeo MK3 petrol car (2005) gas pedal. My mechanic told me it was normal, but I have my doubts. Allow me to explain:
The gas pedal seems to sit lower than it should, and I can lift the pedal up by about 1 to 2 inches with no resistance and let it fall down again. The car seems to accelerate ok if I remind myself to push my foot down further than I naturally would but its quite an awkward thing to put up with. If I forget to push down more then I take off really slowly (with judders as would be expected when not enough gas is being applied). I checked all the gas pedals of my family members cars and none of them are like this. Is this normal or can I do something about it?
Just to add, the pedal only wiggles upwards, and not side to side.
Thanks in advance!
